Off-Duty Officer Caught Using Force During an Attempted Arrest

Police are investigating the incident that occurred in front of the Ferneau Restaurant on Kavanaugh Blvd. in Little Rock, Arkansas when four people were asked to leave by an off-duty police officer that was working as security. Two men, 40-year-old Chris Erwin and 44-year-old Blake Mitchell who were accompanied by two women refused to leave, and an argument with the officer developed into a struggle.

In an attempt to arrest Erwin, the officer used brute force and repeatedly hit him in the face until he was stopped by the eyewitnesses.

What he didn’t know is that the whole incident was caught on camera, and the video is now available on Youtube. There are still no official police comments on the case.
